Quantinuum

We’re slashing the timeline to commercial quantum computing by diving deep into the fundamentals: in this case circuit depth, which is essentially the number of operations needed to complete an algorithm. A computer’s error rate determines how “deep” your circuits can go. For example, an error rate of 1/1000 means you can run circuits up to 1000 operations deep before error creeps in. We’re focusing on optimizing common subroutines—the building blocks of many industrial algorithms. By making these more efficient, we can make once-impossible circuits possible. Our latest breakthrough? A major upgrade in how we implement a widely used subroutine called “the scalar product,” which spans applications from materials simulation to AI. We’ve developed a new method that slashes circuit depth and dramatically reduces resource requirements, bringing real-world quantum applications closer than ever.

Quantinuum is at the forefront of redefining artificial intelligence with quantum computing. As highlighted in The Quantum Insider, we are building the world’s first generative quantum AI (Gen-QAI) system designed to address the scalability, efficiency, and energy demands of today’s AI models.   Our innovations, including quantum word embeddings, recurrent neural networks, and tensor networks, are setting a new benchmark for competitive performance while significantly reducing computational resource requirements.   Led by distinguished researchers Professor Stephen Clark and Professor Harry Buhrman, we are tackling the challenges of classical AI head-on, with a clear focus on creating a sustainable, energy-efficient future for AI development.   This work is more than innovation—it’s a critical investment in the future of #AI and #quantum technology.   Read the full article: https://lnkd.in/e97Pkuwj

Today, Palo Alto Networks (“PAN”) announced the release of a cybersecurity initiative strengthening enterprise security through quantum-derived randomness.     The release of PAN’s API for quantum random number generators (QRNGs) establishes a new standard for cryptographic entropy, and the cybersecurity team at Quantinuum is thrilled to have been a key contributor.    This open API presents a new solution for #QRNG interoperability, enhancing cybersecurity infrastructure for companies across the globe.    Palo Alto – a global leader – embracing quantum technology with the publication of the QRNG Open API is one of the clearest signals so far that quantum-powered security is gaining momentum.    By working with Palo Alto, alongside industry peers, we at Quantinuum are helping empower organizations to build resilience against advanced cyber threats. We look forward to seeing how businesses adopt this new API to strengthen their security frameworks.    You can find the new API on GitHub: https://lnkd.in/ewVjrn-i   Learn more about proven quantum randomness from our Quantum Origin QRNG: https://lnkd.in/gKcjcUmX

Since 2019, we’ve been building the foundations for Generative Quantum AI – “Gen QAI” with a dual focus on tackling the core challenges that face existing AI systems as well as exploiting the promise of quantum computing.    In the past year, we’ve led a concerted drive from theory toward practical implementation – and the results we’ve seen have taken us from “what if” to “what next?”    Along the way we have demonstrated surprisingly competitive results using our quantum systems, often with far fewer resources than required by a classical equivalent. From sequence classification for therapeutics development to machine learning on large language datasets using the world’s first quantum transformer that we at Quantinuum created – we’re showing how classical computing, existing AI systems and quantum computing can work in practice, today.    In short, Quantinuum is pioneering and bringing to reality the next generation of computing, integrating AI with both quantum and classical technologies. We are entering a new era of redefining what’s possible and setting the scene for the world’s first quantum computing supercomputer that enables Generative QAI.    Read more about our latest work here: https://lnkd.in/esCmjvgR

New Mexico! We are coming! We are excited to announce that Quantinuum plans to establish a key presence in the state of New Mexico.   Quantinuum has long-standing relationships with New Mexico’s national labs and research institutions, and it only makes sense that the next leg of our expansion is in the great state of New Mexico.    Our new presence will serve as a base for advancing integrated photonics technologies critical to our trapped-ion hardware and strengthening our ties with the already robust quantum computing ecosystem developing in the state.   New Mexico will become a significant hub for quantum information sciences, and the Governor of New Mexico agrees. Today, Governor Michelle Lujan Grisham announced a proposed legislative package that could unlock $800M in investments aimed at developing the state’s quantum computing ecosystem with Quantinuum as its anchor tenant.   Our new R&D center in New Mexico not only reinforces our commitment to the region but also positions us to contribute significantly to the future of quantum computing.   Details on our announcement: https://lnkd.in/evBERiCx

For the past two months, our Compositional Intelligence team was delivering weekly e-learning lectures to students at Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology, Kumasi, Ghana (KNUST). Our team used a format developed in 2023 to teach students quantum mechanical concepts such as uncertainty and quantum teleportation, and which is presently the subject of educational research.   Over 11 weeks, our teaching team of Bob Coecke, Hamza Waseem, Lia Yeh, Richie Yeung, and Razin Shaikh used a teaching method based on ZX-calculus – a form of maths based on using pictures rather than traditional notation. ZX is one of the "tools of the trade" among quantum computing professionals, where it is used for tasks such as circuit optimization and lattice surgery. As our team discovered in previous projects, it is incredibly intuitive and students with little or no technical background can quickly gain impressive quantum reasoning skills. You can read more about this approach here: https://lnkd.in/edCC6q44   Our team continues to support quantum learning efforts in Ghana, the nation that originally proposed that 2025 be marked as the United Nations International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. We look forward to playing a significant part in making this year a huge success – to reach and inspire the next generation of quantum scientists, and ensure this revolutionary technology benefits people and communities the world over.   The lectures are posted on KNUST’s YouTube: https://lnkd.in/edmvG5NF
